   Today was my first day at my new store. I worked an eleven hour shift. It would have been a ten hour shift but i way overestimated how early i should leave and got there an hour early. To nothing. No work. I had to go sign a paper at the bank. End. I couldn’t do new plan-o-grams because the new ones are for new products that haven’t arrived at the store yet. So I just kind of sat there. I did a few chapers in the Sports and Fitness Nutrition book (which is actually pretty useful once you get past the “how muscles move” junk).

    One thing, though, is that the customers there are nicer. There was maybe one old lady that tried to get cranky, but didn’t because I was sweet to her. People in Zachary don’t give two shits how polite you are. Their life sucks and they are going to make you FEEL it. They’re rude and obnoxious. <3 Millerville customers so far.

    I’m just hoping they don’t take the position from me before I get it. I want it. Bad. Bad bad. I need it, actually. I can’t afford to work part time at minimum wage. Srsly.

    Semi-related because it involves customers, there are two things that make it OK to talk to yourself : Schizophrenia and Bluetooth.

   Completely unrelated but needing to be said even though the person won’t read it, I fucking told you we could only be friends. You don’t need to know why, and I’m not changing my mind. It’s not my fault you can’t handle that. And stop acting like a I never said that.  I was there. It was said. Shame because we could’ve been good friends.

 Screaming baby hates PPP.

I can’t wait until the PPP (and whatever else it goes by) trend is over*.  There’s no link to it. That’s right. I am not promoting the number one way to make your blog suck.** You’re just gonna have to Google it. I’m just kind of sick of going to someone’s personal site, getting a quarter of the way through a blog post, and noticing that it’s bullshit. I went to one blog yesterday and EVERY post for the past two pages (and probably farther. i closed it)  of posts was an ad.

Now, I never minded things like Google ads in the sidebar. They tell you they’re advertisements. Also, on any type of website besides personal blogs, It doesn’t bother me. But it really just seems like outright dishonesty to promote something in a blog post that you have never used and care nothing about. They can’t possibly pay SO much that you’d be willing to run your readers off to do it. Then again, in the personal website community, PPP is some kind of saint. It’s a cult! And they all read each other’s blogs, so there it is. Readers aren’t run off, no one knows how bad it sucks. It’s sort’ve like how an entourage won’t ever tell you you’re eating too many potato chips. You just wake up one day and your ass is huge.

I really do try to get into real people’s blogs. You know, about real life. then I find a PPP post, and I just can’t read it anymore. Grr. Ads make blogs suck! To everyone who doesn’t lie about products in their blogs , I say hurrah! Hurrah!

This post has been paid for by… NO ONE.

 *Truth be told, the PPP trend won’t be over until the blogging trend  is over. People will do anything to make money.
**I am however promoting number two, which is to not have a life.
